DURHAM, N.H. – UMBC women's soccer's
junior midfielder Amy
Savage (Ottawa, Ontario/Sir Wilfrid Laurier) notched her
first goal of the season, but it was New Hampshire's second-half
penalty kick that broke a 1-1 tie and gave the Wildcats a 2-1
victory in Sunday afternoon's America East opener at Lewis
Fields.

UNH (3-6-1) has won seven of its last eight meetings against the
Retrievers and move to 3-6-1 (1-0 America East) on the season,
while UMBC falls to 1-7-2 (0-1 America East) on the year.

The Wildcats jumped out in front 9:07 into the first half, as
freshman midfielder Gabrielle Sloan played a ball to junior
midfielder Kristi Zarrilli, and Zarrilli found sophomore forward
Meghan Ledwith who beat UMBC keeper Lauren
Kadete (Oakville, Ontario/St. Thomas Aquinas) into the lower
right corner for her second goal of the season.

The Retrievers looked to even up the contest and nearly did so
at the 63:25 into the contest when senior forward Rachel
McKee (Ellicott City, Md./Mount Hebron) blasted a shot,
that was denied by the crossbar.

UMBC did find the back of the net 4:02 later as Savage put away
one of her game-high five shots on the afternoon on a header from a
McKee corner kick, evening the score at 1-1.

The Wildcats broke the tie less than a minute later as freshman
midfielder Kirstyn Corder converted on a penalty kick to give UNH
the 2-1 victory.

Kadet finished the afternoon with seven saves, moving her into
third place all-time at UMBC in career saves with 268. She
surpasses Christy Friedrich (267). McKee also moved up in the
Retrievers' record book, moving into a tie for seventh with Nicole
Grinspoon in career shots (119).

The Retrievers continue league play on Thursday when they travel
to take to Hartford.
